Polyester and poly-blend fabrics are what set these tees apart from a cotton shirt. Moisture moves away from the skin and evaporates quickly, which matters when the wearer is moving. The range covers short sleeve crew necks, 3/4 sleeve styles, and a soccer jersey cut for team sport. Cationic fabric styles give a heather appearance with a softer drape, while breathable mesh panels improve airflow during high-output activity. UPF30+ rated styles are available for outdoor use, and a stretch poly-blend tee rounds out the selection for a closer, more athletic fit. Mens and ladies cuts are both available, with some styles in a unisex sizing run. Most styles start at 50 units, with some at 25.
A gym kitting out its personal trainers could run a mesh panel tee in the gym's colour with a chest logo, and the mesh panels will keep the trainer comfortable through back-to-back sessions. Screen printing and full colour digital transfers are both available across this range.
Common Questions
What fabrics are used in cool dry t-shirts?
Polyester and poly-blend are the core fabrics, with cationic weave used in some styles for a heather look. Polyester draws moisture away from the skin and dries faster than cotton, which is why it's the dominant fabric for active wear.
Do these come in ladies-specific cuts?
Yes, ladies cuts are available across multiple styles including short sleeve, 3/4 sleeve, and mesh panel styles. Some styles are also available in a unisex sizing run if you need one SKU to cover both.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Most styles have a 50-unit minimum, with some styles available from 25 units. The 25-unit minimum styles suit smaller clubs or trial orders where you don't want a large upfront commitment.
How long does production take once artwork is approved?
Regular production takes 10 business days from artwork approval. If you require them quicker than this, please check with us directly and we can see if we can push it through for you.
What branding methods work on active polyester fabric?
Screen printing and full colour digital transfers are both available. Full colour digital transfers work well on polyester because they bond directly to the fabric surface without requiring a white underbase.
